Re: Zevon tune |
Oh I wouldn't knock the early days, I saw them in playing in a rowing club on the banks of the Trent in Nottingham in '77 about the time Peel started playing 'Sultans'. Just before the 1st album came out, and there were only about 25 people there. I have the first two albums, but I think that's enough. I don't think I could ever have enough Jerry.

Re: Zevon tune |
I got a little bit further - the last Straits album I bought was Love Over Gold but I have to admit it's been a long time since I felt like listening to any of it. Knopfler is a very fine guitar player though, I really enjoyed the stuff he was doing with Emmylou a couple of years back for instance.

Re: Zevon tune |
I like Knopfler's playing, and the fact that he takes on all sorts of different projects. Seems like a nice guy too, I saw an interview with him where he explained the absolute pointlessness of reforming Straits for a 'greatest hits' tour.
